Use these endpoints to build and modify documents programmatically. A document is a container — you create it first, then add sections, steps, and sub-steps as nodes to build out the content hierarchy.
You can only delete documents that have status: "draft". Published and archived documents cannot be deleted through the API.
Create a document POST https://api.docinject.io/api/v1/documents
Creates a blank draft document. After creation, add nodes using the node endpoints to build the content.
Request body Version label for this document, for example 1.0 or Q3-2025.
Department or team this document belongs to.
Example request curl -X POST "https://api.docinject.io/api/v1/documents" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "title": "Incident Response Playbook", "version": "1.0", "department": "Engineering" }'
Response Returns 201 Created with the new document object.
